The "Gaia 2016 Data Release #1 Workshop" is jointly organised by ESA and DPAC.
After a successful launch on 19 December 2013, commissioning and first years of routine operations, Gaia will make its first data release in the summer of 2016. For those interested in the exploitation of the Gaia Data Release #1, this workshop will give a basic introduction to the mission concept and performance in space, an overview of the catalogue contents including scientific quality and practical information on how to handle them for your science research.
There will be ample time for question and answer sessions with mission experts to help attendees make progress with their particular science projects, and attendees will be encouraged to foster collaborations with other scientists interested in Gaia data.
Participants can also take the chance to access science data from other ESA missions and consult with the experts on site.
Detailed information is available on the dedicated workshop website.
